Your username and password have just been cached somewhere. If you have
used the svn command line and allowed it to cache your password and you
are using the JavaHL client adapter in Subclipse, then it will just share
the same cache.

Subclipse does not ask for username and password in the setup of a
repository. Instead, you are prompted later when the repository
challenges you for a username and password. This prompt allows the
password to be cached. However, as I indicated above, this cache is
shared with the command line client so if you have already cached it
there, you will not be prompted again in Subclipse.
